This doesnt look open source, so maybe not a good comparison with ROS

I see in their FAQ:

> Will PeppyOS be open source?

> Yes! PeppyOS will be fully open source under a BSL license before the end of this year. Once the software is mature, everyone will be able to contribute and participate in its development.

BSL is not an open source license. It is a proprietary source-available license that prohibits any "production" use.

BSL will just prevent people from creating a competing SaaS product on top of PeppyOS, nothing will prevent anyone from using it for free commercially
